Abstract
ROZOL- continues its advance in establishing itself as a reliable product for controlling orchard mice.
ROZOL GROUND SPRAY CONCENTRATE is still the only alternative to Endrin, not only from the persistence point of view, but for its effectiveness. Environmentally, ROZOL GROUND SPRAY CONCENTRATE is proving to be a desirable product because shortly after it controls the mice, it degrades into non-toxic metabolites, thus lacking the residue problems that exist with Endrin.
Furthermore, mouse resistance to Endrin has developed after many years of orchard use. Clear field data has established that ROZOL GROUND SPRAY CONCENTRATE is more effective than Endrin in these area. Besides - higher Endrin dosages, in spite of their increased environmental hazard, have not resulted in higher control.
